IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED LANTERNS AND DINNER-KETTLES.

Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 170,110, dated November 16, 1875; application tiled l March 18, 1875.

To all whom -it may concern: y

Be it known that I, WARRAN WORTMAN PRICE; of the village of Petitcodiac, in the county of Westmoreland and Province of New Brunswick, Canada, have invented a new and useful Article by Combining a Lantern with a Dinner-Kettle; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description ot' the same.,

In designing this combination I had two objects in view-the first to provide for all those who have occasion to labor or travel in the cold such a useful combination of two implements in common use that food or drink might either be kept warm or heated whenever required; and, second, to furnish all the conveniences and benefits of a lantern by the same combination. The description which follows will show how conveniently and efciently those desirable purposes are accomplished.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view ofthe lantern and kettle combined. Fig. 2 represents a vertical section through d d of the lantern. Fig. 3 represents a horizontal section through one of the planes e c. Fig. 4 is a side view of one of the openings, with part of the covering d removed 5 and Fig. 5 is a plan view ofthe regulating-cover f.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.

A represents adinner-kettle, such as is ordinarily used by laboring-men. For the purpose of the combination7 two short studs, b b, are fixed upon opposite sides, near the bottom, one of them being shown in Fig. 4. ange, a, forming a tight joint at the upper edge, and incliuing outward at the bottom. rIhe lantern is cylindrical in form, made of perforated tin or other suitable metal, with a lamp xed in or upon the bottom. The size of the lantern is such that the kettle will just fit neatly within it. On opposite sides are narrow openings, c c, extending downward from the top, and each having a number o f notches at one side. When the lantern is placed within the kettle the studs Z2 'b slide down the openings c c to the required depth, when a turn lof the kettle brings them within one pair of the notches, as shown in Fig. 4. The openings c c, protected by tubular coverings d d, give the necessary ventilation to the lantern, while the escaping gas' or smoke is prevented from rising round the upper part of the kettle by the projecting iiange a. Additional strength and protection to the lantern are aorded by bands at the top and bottom, and by a number. of hoops, c e, surrounding and being securely fastened to the forementioned iiues d al, and two other similar vertical tubes or pockets, d df, attached to the lantern at ninety degrees from the former. rlhe last-named tubes may be found useful to carrya knife and forkor some other article of convenience. Within the lantern is a regulating-cover, f, made of a perforated rim or hoop and top plate, and furnished with handles It and i, which, when not in use, are thrown down upon the cover, as in Fig. 5. At opposite sides of the rim are two studs, b 1),similar to those in the kettle, which also slide within the openings c c, and in like manner may be turned into any pair of the notches. In the center of the cover is an opening,'which may be closed, whenever required, by a trencher, g, fastened by a rivet.

In a combination the trencher is usually set to one side, Fig. 5. This cover may beA pushed down to the bottom of the lantern or fixed at any height between that and the bottom of the kettle, so as best to answer the purpose of a regulator to the draft of the lamp.V

It need scarcely be added that this regulating-coverf may be made a true cover to the lantern. (when the kettle is not required) by closing the central opening with the trencher g, and turning the studs bb into the Lipper notches of the side openings c c.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. The flange a and studs b b, in combination with the tubes cl d, provided with notched vertical slots c c, as hereinbefore specified.

2. The combination of the hoops e c with the tubes d d and slotted tubes d d, substantially as described.

3. The regulating-cover f, provided with studs b b', handles l1. and i, and trencher g, as hereinbefore set forth.
